Sadly, a Nelson County family of five lost their Arrington home to fire over the December 2019 holidays. American Red Cross volunteers were on the scene within a few hours and provided for the family’s immediate, emergency needs. Bill Brent of the ARC said the family received $1,135 in immediate financial assistance, and disaster case workers are continuing to assist the family in getting additional resources. Brent noted grants from the Nelson County Community Fund have helped make it made it possible for ARC to provide the victims with both help and hope.
